Whoa, Sex Pistols? NOW we're talking ))) As usual - highly energetic reaction, thank you, matey! And I must agree with previous commenters about God save the Queen and Anarchy in the UK. You need to react to them))
@@becks7394 I was a punk ,and a trainee Hairdresser,I liked the music but I also wore it because at first you didn't need any money to wear the clothes,just rip the shit out of anything and wear that .Plus I hated bellbottems and flairs and all that hippie shit.Used to get spat at in the street too. LOL
And we wanted that, cos 70's music was bullcrap....my biggest regret was going to see a Supertramp gig in Glasgow with my sister...when the SP came along I remember thinking....Thank fk for that
The place is the 100 Club on Oxford Street. A location that has Jazz roots and Grass Roots music bands. Was a place to go back in the day on different nights, for Jazz Funk and Soul, or Punk , Northern Soul - A genre not known or covered by the reaction RUclipsrs. I would say it's worth them doing a bit of study about the sub cultures back then to have a better understanding of what was going on. It was very very tribal back in the day, People would actually fight one another over what music they listened to.
@@jasonmgomez 8 Track flashback! I worked with a guy who collected 8 tracks and apparently they can be pretty valuable. I was shocked to know that people collected them beside the value of them. Could be sitting on a goldmine. I hope 🤞. Take care and stay safe 😷
The 'V' gesture (with your knuckles on the outside and fingers towards your face, the opposite of the victory gesture) is the British gesture for 'up yours' and is similar in meaning to giving the middle finger in the US.
It comes from the days of fighting with bows, when the enemy caught the bow men they used to cut off those fingers. The soldiers used to show the enemy that they still had those fingers before the battle.
Yeah, it dates back from the 100 year war. British archers taunting the french "I still have them both" (them being fingers used to shoot the bow). The middle finger gesture has derived from that. Or at least that's what I've been told when I was new into punk.
Opening up a whole new genre. Please react to the Ramones. Possible songs are: 'Judy Is a Punk' 'The KKK Took My Baby Away' 'Rockaway Beach' 'Beat on the Brat' 'Sheena Is a Punk Rocker' 'Blitzkrieg Bop' 'I Wanna Be Sedated'
Sheena is a punk rocker is one of my favorite songs ever. However, I wanna be sedated, cretin hop and blitzkrieg bop..those are also some classic Ramone songs.
Wow. Early British punk. I’m a lil shocked and impressed. Another rabbit hole. The whole British Invasion. Musically. Love love love how open minded you have become. 💪👍🏼💜💜💜🤪
I think you’d love Bad Brains, an all black hardcore punk band from DC, they revolutionized the genre and broke the status quo. Sailin’ On and Banned in D.C. are legendary songs
I love my city! Our gifts to the world: Bad Brains, Fugazi, and Chuck Brown. (And Dave Chapelle, of course). Holy crap, I just realized he’d love Go-go. Who doesn’t?
I liked a lot of Bad Brain's stuff from their first album, Black Dots, most. Don't Bother Me, Attitude, Supertouch/Shitfit, etc. Excellent raw garage/dive-bar sound that matches the music so well. Their later stuff sounds a bit too overproduced to me, for the genre, but I can't complain too much.
Don't forget Death, who were an all black punk band before punk was named. What tbey call proto punk. Bad Brains was definitely influenced and not because they were blacl, but the sound makes it obvious.
i grew up in this era but i was a hip hop head mostly. Older i get the more music sucks. So i went back and picked up a lot of old punk and music i wouldn't have listened to at the time. Last thing in music that currently still gives me that old feeling of reality and edginess
@@VolkXue was just saying this to my husband the other night. Music isn't like it was when we were growing up. It's lost It's meaning and feeling. Not much music these days that invoke the emotions that music used to give me. I just see a lot of barely dressed girls jiggling around singing about bling bling and Rappers talking about guns and violence and pu$$y. I really worry for my son and his future children if they can't get in touch with music from the ages.
God Save The Queen is a great protest song from the Sex Pistols. They burned out fast this band. Only did one album (Never Mind The Bullocks) and it's an absolute classic. Every song a banger. John Lydon (the lead singer, known at the time as Johnny Rotten) is a walking middle finger to the world. Dude does not give a f^€# even today. There's a great movie for your other channel called "Sid and Nancy" about the band's bass player Sid Vicious. Stars Gary Oldman. Classic.
You should read John Lydons book, Anger is an Energy. Written by the lead singer, stage name in Pistols, Jonney Rotten. Hes still active with his second band PIL, Public Imige LTD. And living in the states now, hes a fantastic dude
@@russcole5685 John Lydon also is a Brexit and Arsenal fan. He thinks Trump is punk rock. He also likes Lady Gaga, and has appeared in several animal/wildlife documentaries. He is, above all, his own person.
You most definitely need to listen to “Blitzkrieg Bop” - Ramones or “She’s the one” by them as well. Legendary band and known as the Godfather’s of Punk Rock.
Yess!! The Clash are also bangers “straight to hell” “Rock the Casbah” “London calling” Siouxie and the banshee’s “Happy house” “Dear prudence” The Specials “Ghost Town” “Gangsters” loads more ✊✊♥️
Remember hearing the album from which this track came back in '77 at tender age of thirteen, laying in bed and feeling the energy pour through my entire body like i'd been connected up to mains electric grid. Without doubt the singularly most exciting thing to happen to commercial music 'ever'.
Just listen to the album. That's all you'll need. "Ever had the feeling you've been cheated? Hahaha" : John Lydon's last words on stage as a S£x Pistol. A statement REALLY Reverberating today. Pretty Vacant is my favourite track.
Also, if you feel like staying on them a minute, check out 'God Save the Queen' It was released / performed during the queens jubilee. And despite being #1 on the charts, on paper there was no #1 song acknowledged 🤣
The stooges haha The New York Dolls and then The Ramones, Patti Smith and Television then English took on punk with Sex Pistols, The Damned and The Clash and then plenty more on both sides of the ocean with a ska variation until the New Romantics hit in the early eighties 🤓🤓
“IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT”.....It would be good to watch your reaction to ‘THE PRODIGY’.....either ‘FIRESTARTER’ or ‘BREATHE.’ Keith Flint (founding member of the group) came to a sad end in 2019.
I remember one of my friends in high school would come over to my house to listen to her Sex Pistols album, because she wasn't allowed to listen to it at her house.
If you decide to do more punk bands, I recommend the American band "Dead Kennedys." The songs "California Uber Alles" and "Moral Majority" are interesting musically and more so lyrically.
@@Jetshite The Swindle was released a full year after they broke up. Pretty awful album full of out takes and cover versions. And lots of post Lydon material. One 1977 album and four singles 1976 to 77. That's was it for the Sex Pistols. They had split after that in early 78 on the American tour but of course released some more material without Lydon but still under the Sex Pistols name.
OMG I was 15 when these hit the scene 🤣59 now ....the original Punk band, everything after was down to these .....Nirvana , Foo fighters, Pearl Jam , the whole Grunge , Brit pop movement. And I was there at the start 😂❤❤❤❤😁 check out Pretty Vavant and God save the Queen, which the BBC banned as it was 1977 and her 25th jubilee year 😁x
@@JKM395 I was barely out of highschool , a C student with a BS job , then this album came out and for the first time in my life I wasn't alone. Now 63 and not alone
The back to front peace sign ✌️ in the U.K. is the same as an American giving the middle finger, so...you know...they’re essentially telling everyone to F off, which was a standard punk attitude. Other bands to look out for from this period are The Clash, The Jam, The Specials and maybe Madness. All bands that hit the U.K. charts in the late 70’s and have endured a lasting popularity here in the U.K. but maybe were more underground in the USA.
Punk was as much a state of mind as it was the music, you have no idea the outrage punks and the sex pistols caused in the 70s here in the uk. It was an anti establishment movement that sadly died out.
No waaaaaay you reviewed this song!!! Nice one! I like the Leaether Strip cover a lot. A good song can be covered by anybody and still be GOOD! Good music crosses all boundaries ❤️
I'm 43 years old and still clinging to punk rock I'm still the ultimate outsider thank God for a music until alternative rock came along that I could latch myself onto! Plus you would miss out on a lot of great bands missing out on this genre of music!
You REALLY need to do the movie "Sid and Nancy". Gary Oldman played Sid Vicious. Also, any video you can find for these guys is worth the watch/listen. Keep rockin'...🙃
@@normandavidtidiman9918 true i guess the guy who made it was kind of a hack. bit of a fluke the movie became popular. He also made my favourite movie Repo Man.
My fav Boy Band 😂 If you’re going to play Sex Pistols It’s Anarchy In the UK, God Save the Queen, My Way. If you’re going to play some Punk Rock listen to The Clash, Ramones, Bad Brains, Black Flag. Hell even early U2
You’re gettin in to the gritty stuff now man! Good stuff, Johnny Rotten is actually a very intelligent guy. “You ever get the feelin’ you’ve been cheated!?”
Yesss! Were getting into the punk genre. Gotta do "kill the poor" by the dead Kennedys. Also, if were gonna do more $3× pistols, you have to do anarchy in the UK. Classic. This is what has me addicted to your channel. You're doing every genre I've hoped to see someone do. I haven't watched another channel in over a week!
If you want to hear more punk rock, then I have a few big ones. Dropkick Murphys, the Stooges(early years), the Misfits, and finally, the Ramones. You won't be disappointed.
The black and white parts of the video are filmed in Berlin as the Wall was still standing and the City was splitted in two parts. East and west Berlin.
I bought that very T-shirt Steve Jones is wearing from "Seditionaries" back in 1978 and then gave it to a fxcking charity shop a few years later,,, what a mug.
Dipping the toe into the British first wave of punk, going to be tricky to stay off the political stuff the deeper you dive into that pool, but it's totally worth it, a LOT of great music. So many bands, Ramones, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, The Plasmatics (Wendy O Williams is a punk goddess), Iggy and the Stooges, Circle Jerks, I could go for days. I gotta go find that hat now, that's awesome.
@@amindrum9621 Never Mind The Bollocks is the album that counts as far as the Sex Pistols are concerned. They had long broke up when the Swindle was released.
Punk was the anti everything movement, anti govt, anti police, anti singing ability, anti knowing how to play your instrument beyond the bare minimum... Anarchy in the UK God Save the Queen
Perhaps that's how it was. I definitely can't speak to that. You got me there. But nowadays punk rock is a lot more nuanced. There is so much variety. I personally prefer music with a message, but more often I find a positive message, rather than an anti. I guess it's just a matter of perspective. They are simply opposite sides of the coin. Pro-worker or anti-corporation? Anti-private insurance or pro-Medicare for all? Is it simply a matter of phrasing? A different outlook? Thinking aloud here, but it's worth pondering.
Highly controversial band at the time. Their songs got banned. Gigs cancelled. They wrote songs attacking the queen and the government. A lot of the style considered punk goes back to them. They basically had one album, yet were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. True to form they refused to go to their own induction or perform. Try 'Anarchy in the UK', 'Pretty Vacant' and 'Bodies'.
Not sure how you found the Sex Pistols,especially with all the different genre's you react to, but I do recommend watching Sid and Nancy. If you could react to the Cult or Concrete Blonde it would really make my day!
That was excellent. Best thing I have seen today. The pistols and the beastie boys are very similar in their authenticness and you called it there dude. Thanks for the smile that put on my face. Am 55 now but was a sex pistols fan back in the day.
This is some extremely British stuff you've stepped off into! The gesture holding the tweo fingers up is how they shoot "the birdie" finger when we say ef u LOL
So if you were to go back before you started this adventure, would have thought you'd be rocking out to the Sex Pistols!?! I love how you have opened up and grown with music. Great job!!
I knew if I waited long enough you would eventually find the Pistols. Seeing as Friday is my 60th birthday, how about some Ramones for me, one of your loyal followers ???
I'm 78 and these were a one off, best Punk band of all time. I love all music, some people say this is not music, as you say on your tee shirt it's different.
Johnny rotten is a great guy he is taking care of his wife who has alzheimers disease currently stay high dudes
I met him myself. Charming guy. Very funny and definitely is family oriented. Great dude.
Update she passed away, Lydon is a bit of an ass but I love him anyway
I’m happy you got to Punk 🇬🇧🇬🇧 “God save the Queen” , “ Anarchy in the UK”.
And my way cover, why not???
Whoa, Sex Pistols? NOW we're talking ))) As usual - highly energetic reaction, thank you, matey! And I must agree with previous commenters about God save the Queen and Anarchy in the UK. You need to react to them))
Lets not forget Pretty vacant. Best pistols track imo.
No Feelings
This is what we grew up too in the 70 & 80's as a teen. Punk was an culture that you can express everything. What a time is was...
By the 80's Punk was dead.
@@fezhat7096 Early 80's still had punk where I'm from. Still today, punk is very popular.
When punks first hit the streets the newspapers warned us that our lives were in danger. 😂

You REALLY need to do the movie "Sid and Nancy". Gary Oldman played Sid Vicious. Also, any video you can find for these guys is worth the watch/listen. Keep rockin'...🙃
That movie is crap! A 40 yo ac-tor playing a 21 yo punk and the worst ever John Lydon representation with someone looking more like Captain Sensible 🙄
One of my all time favorite movies. Nancy wanted to die from the time she was born. The book her mom wrote is really good.
Sid and Nancy is one of those cult classics that will live on forever!!
@@normandavidtidiman9918 true i guess the guy who made it was kind of a hack. bit of a fluke the movie became popular. He also made my favourite movie Repo Man.
That movie is absolute crap. Inaccurate and glamourises heroin addiction
Public Image Ltd. (PiL) is Johnny Rotten's band after Sex Pistols broke up and is the most underrated band of all time.
The Sex Pistols have influenced, Music, Style, Hair cuts. Etc. even 46 years later!!!
I like you soooo much! Yes you can try "anarchy in the uk" or god save the queen".
My fav Boy Band 😂 If you’re going to play Sex Pistols It’s Anarchy In the UK, God Save the Queen, My Way. If you’re going to play some Punk Rock listen to The Clash, Ramones, Bad Brains, Black Flag. Hell even early U2
Love their whole album. Absolutely brilliant. After you do their songs, check out The Ramones. It's brilliant!
You’re gettin in to the gritty stuff now man!
Good stuff, Johnny Rotten is actually a very intelligent guy.
“You ever get the feelin’ you’ve been cheated!?”
A total banger that is more current is the band, The Strokes - Reptilia
Yesss! Were getting into the punk genre. Gotta do "kill the poor" by the dead Kennedys. Also, if were gonna do more $3× pistols, you have to do anarchy in the UK. Classic. This is what has me addicted to your channel. You're doing every genre I've hoped to see someone do. I haven't watched another channel in over a week!
If you want to hear more punk rock, then I have a few big ones. Dropkick Murphys, the Stooges(early years), the Misfits, and finally, the Ramones. You won't be disappointed.
The black and white parts of the video are filmed in Berlin as the Wall was still standing and the City was splitted in two parts. East and west Berlin.
a lot of people dismiss the pistols but they had a real groove that many punk bands lacked
This era of punk was raw and pure the songs were mostly political. Sex Pistols gave rise to bands like the Butthole Surfers and the Dead Milkmen.
Sex pistols frigging in the rigging is a giggle too 🤣
I bought that very T-shirt Steve Jones is wearing from "Seditionaries" back in 1978 and then gave it to a fxcking charity shop a few years later,,, what a mug.
“They’ve been to a lot of Holiday Inns”😂🤣🤣
XO❤️
Now we're talking! My man! Please do anything by The Clash. The only band that matters
Dipping the toe into the British first wave of punk, going to be tricky to stay off the political stuff the deeper you dive into that pool, but it's totally worth it, a LOT of great music. So many bands, Ramones, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, The Plasmatics (Wendy O Williams is a punk goddess), Iggy and the Stooges, Circle Jerks, I could go for days. I gotta go find that hat now, that's awesome.
Yea Leo your reason to be hear is for thousands of smiles a day you really have no idea how much you crack my tf up dude ❤️
Gotta hear Sid Vicious's version of Frank Sinatra's "My Way"
Yeah, that's my jam!! 🎶
Oh god yes!!!
Yes, I was remembering that...
The great rock and roll swindle in general is a good album to cover everything sex pistols related
@@amindrum9621 Never Mind The Bollocks is the album that counts as far as the Sex Pistols are concerned. They had long broke up when the Swindle was released.
Glad you liked it
Babies, Anarchy in the UK, God Save the Queen, Pretty Vacant.... Dive in!
The two finger salute they're giving is the British equivalent to flipping the bird.
Punk was the anti everything movement, anti govt, anti police, anti singing ability, anti knowing how to play your instrument beyond the bare minimum...
Anarchy in the UK
God Save the Queen
That's a bit of an over simplification. I take it you haven't had much exposure.
Perhaps that's how it was. I definitely can't speak to that. You got me there. But nowadays punk rock is a lot more nuanced. There is so much variety. I personally prefer music with a message, but more often I find a positive message, rather than an anti. I guess it's just a matter of perspective. They are simply opposite sides of the coin. Pro-worker or anti-corporation? Anti-private insurance or pro-Medicare for all? Is it simply a matter of phrasing? A different outlook? Thinking aloud here, but it's worth pondering.
Highly controversial band at the time. Their songs got banned. Gigs cancelled. They wrote songs attacking the queen and the government. A lot of the style considered punk goes back to them. They basically had one album, yet were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. True to form they refused to go to their own induction or perform.
Try 'Anarchy in the UK', 'Pretty Vacant' and 'Bodies'.
some Detroit Hardcore, the MC5 "kick up the Jams" and the Stooges.
Not sure how you found the Sex Pistols,especially with all the different genre's you react to, but I do recommend watching Sid and Nancy. If you could react to the Cult or Concrete Blonde it would really make my day!
🔥🔥🔥🔥 A reason to entertain and grow w all of us👍 Music does exactly that! Thanks Leo🤗
Lead singer is Johnny Rotten. I'd suggest watching a couple of early interviews with him and the rest of the group.
That was excellent. Best thing I have seen today. The pistols and the beastie boys are very similar in their authenticness and you called it there dude. Thanks for the smile that put on my face. Am 55 now but was a sex pistols fan back in the day.
😅😅😅 your expressions & reactions are on point Leo 😅😅😅
John lydon is the most honest,genuine man in the buisiness,what you see is what you get.politicians could learn a lot from this mans approach.
i remember my brother going through his punk phase some strange hairstyles 🏴🏴🏴🏴
My favourite back from them times and a classic has to be ..
The Guns Of Brixton ..by The Clash
This is some extremely British stuff you've stepped off into! The gesture holding the tweo fingers up is how they shoot "the birdie" finger when we say ef u LOL
So if you were to go back before you started this adventure, would have thought you'd be rocking out to the Sex Pistols!?! I love how you have opened up and grown with music. Great job!!
I knew if I waited long enough you would eventually find the Pistols. Seeing as Friday is my 60th birthday, how about some Ramones for me, one of your loyal followers ???
I'm 78 and these were a one off, best Punk band of all time. I love all music, some people say this is not music, as you say on your tee shirt it's different.
A few lesser known ones that might have already been mentioned but are worth checking out; Pretty Vacant and Frigging in the Rigging
